Correspondence Of the Richmond Dlspatchl
AsHEvnLE, September 3, 1887.
In October the President is to be
here on his way from Knoxville to Ra-
leigh. 1t is not yet known just how
long his stay will be, but steps are
being taken for his entertainment. A
most hospitable welcome will be ex-
tended him, especially since a similar
unpleasantness occurred here to the
one at st. Louis, where it was init
mated that it would be more pleasant
for him not to visit. He vetoed the
bill for a Government building hete
and a prominent citizen sent him a
telegram expressive OF preference Tor
him rot to come here. But that mat
ter has been reconsidered, and like the
st. Louis affair, the President will come
ANYHOW, and when here will find many
surprises in store for him in regard to
the size Of the city, its business, its
growth, and lis future, and will doubt
less say such n place should now have
q handsome Government binding and
when Congress again passes bill to
that effect he would not likely veto 1t.
The first fall day has davned bright
ly and beautifully on the largest mum
Der of visitors and strangers ever seen
before in this section. At the seashore
trunks have been packed, the crowd
dispersed. and the gayeties OF the sea-
son Of 1857 are over. In the mountains
here it Is different The gay crowds
that throng the largo and fashionable
hotels are indsp0scd to limit the sea
sons pleasures by the arrival OF this
superb autumn weather. Thatthe early
fall months are the most charming AMI
beneficial to spend in these highlandsls
fact conceded byail VINO have felt the
raIe IMMIGRATION which these autumn
DAYS inspire. Anew strength seems to
bless the aged, while those III whose
veins youthful blood still courses are
thrilled with that rare and indescribable
life and exubeTance of spirits, to feel
which is ample repayment for pilgrim
age among the mountains, with any IN
convenience or fancied hardships which
may accompany it. The visitors TO this
section are learning each year the Wis
dom Of prolonging later and later into
the fall the stay that has heretofore been
meant only for summer.
Numbe.s of excursions have been
pouring great throngs of people into
the city lately. One train II few days
since rolled in with nine hundred Wis
itors for this place. The. hotels and
clearinghouse have been unusually
crowded.
The steamboat on the French Broad
river has made a trial trip. 1t IS said
to run admirably. and is possibly ope-
rated at an altitude doubtless not else
where equalization feet above sea
level.
The first frost of the season is Just re-
ported from Arden, in the sout ern
part of the county. Vegetation is re-
ported damaged; but little or no to-
bacco is grown in that part OF the coun-
| ty, and hence the loss is lighter thaa 1t
would have been anywhere else in Bum
cOmbe.
The graded school for which the
election was lately held is soon to be
opened. The management have de
| termincd to have a school q credit to the
city.

10 the EditOr Of tie Dispatch:
The foot is composed mainly of small
bones united by cartilage forming an
arch, admirably adapted to support the
weight of the body in standing or walk
ing. The arch of the foot not only
adds to its beauty and symmetry, but
serves the practical purpose OF inrreas-
ing its strength and breaking the force
of shocks transmitted through it to the
body, as in leaping or running.
The heel, in the natural position Of
the foot, rests upon the ground. A
boot or shoe, therefore, made III con-
formity with its design, should have
low, broad heels, and should not be so
tight as to obstruct the circulation.
Small, high heels, such as are frequent
ly worn by the devotees of fashion,
throw the weight of the body too much
upon the front of the foot and subject
the muscles concerned i'll locomotion
to an injurious strain.
The feet should be kept comfortably
warm and dry by woollen hosiery in
cold weather and by thick shoes or,
what is better, overshoes in wet wea-
Their. Cold feet are an unerring indi-
cation of some disorder Of the system,
which should be inquired into. They
are generally due to congestion of the
internal organs from sedentary habits
and want of proper exercise. Frequent
ly tight shoe is the cause of the trou-
Die. Whatever it is, it should be care
fully inquired into and removed, as
serious consequences are likely to result
from its continuance. NJ. ID.

laugh at the idea that he is jealous for

that he struck at me in the dark, not
for DIR. Strong's sake, but for the sake
of an Infamous whiskey ring. The Sc
cret agents of that ring have been doing
their utmost for ten years to annoy me.
They have sent me all manner OF OBJ
scene letters and pictures. They have
published a thousand falsehoods about
my prohibition speeches. They tell
the negroes that ] am in favor OF the
restoration of slavery and the abolition
Of the public schools. They have
threatened to do for me what they did
for Gambrell in Mississippi. TO any
one who is familiar with the iniquitous
methods of warfare adopted by the
Liquor-Dealers' Association the con
duct of "Anxious Inquirer " is as trans

character OF Judas Iscariot. This pro-
duction was prepared some years ago
and read to the Ministers Conference
in Richmond.
Subsequently IL was preached in the
form Of sermon in this city, and when
plagiarism was charged, and when the
examination was made there was not
found more than one sentence CORE
spending TO the book. and for that due
credit was given. This is the testimony
of a number Of gentlemen who can
vassed the whole thing at the time,
they having the manuscript OF DIR.
Hawthorne, the Fairband book, and the
sermon as published in the C0nstitu-
ton, so as to make close comparison
one with the other.
As to the Joseph Cook episode l
know nothing, and / have failed to
find any one who does. The Doctor
has taken an active part in the recent
prohibition movement now spreading
over the South, and his bold and fear
less utterances have made for him many
enemies, and they are inclined to strike
back.
As to the wisdom of the Doctor S
mode of conducting the campaign l
have nothing to say, but as to the
charge Of plagiarism, as just and fair
minded man | must say that, barring
all malice, it is utterly groundless, and
such | think, will be the verdict of all
impartial men.
DR.. Hawthorne's life is, and has
been for thirty years so correct, so de-
voted, so Christ-like, that even malice
itself has never found tongue to whis-
per a word to his discredit, save only
this base and groundless one of plagia-
rism-a charge disreputable to its ute
res, but harmless as to DIR. Haw-
thorne. Truly, II. G. HoRyADY,

Strange HousehoId pets.


4 strange bequest and n strange
household pet was that which my
friends father received from his grand
mother. 1t was q land turtle that she
had cared for and petted for forty
years. 1t bad the range of the house,
answered to its name Dam, would
come after its food, and eat it out OF
hand. When ready to take his long
winter sleep Dan would peck at the
bureau, when bis mistress would wrap
him in fannels and tuck him away in a
drawer where he remained dormant
until spring. Dan lived five years with
the legatee, and when he died an ALI
gator took its place. The latter thriyes
and is as tenderly cared for as pet
canary or Scotch terrier would be.
